The Lakers are supposed to be the prized franchise in all of sports. Athletes were supposed to trip over themselves to be in purple and gold. Well, it’s a new day. Los Angeles Lakers, this is your life. Enjoy it.

Well, adding the best center in the NBA usually is a pretty good idea, even if he’s been labeled a cancer or soft. A change of scenery, media attention and a new franchise that revolves around team chemistry…….. Shieeeeet, IMO : let’s roll the dice and bring back some Rings.

I want to laugh at the lakers but I’m strangly overcome with sympathy for lakers fans. They got you guys looking like chumps. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear lakers been leaving voice messages on Dwight’s phone asking why he doesn’t call anymore.

fuck dwight. that fucker got stripped of more balls last year then every male to female sex change patient in history. it was seriously hard watching the games with him playing, i would scream at the tv “STOP HOLDING THE BALL DOWN BY YOUR WAIST AND KEEP THAT SHIT SHOULDER HEIGHT.” did anyone else notice dwights butterfingers all year. i honestly couldnt believe this guy brought the magic to a finals. i also could hardly believe he led the league in double doubles last year (correct me if im wrong)

This is fuckin pathetic! StayD12???????? Really????? They just gave him all the power! He’s probably laughing his ass off at this! When did Howard become bigger than your franchise? If he wants to go, let him fucking go and stop begging him stay

I just don’t wanna see him go to Houston and waste his career there. They would be good, no doubt, but thats not a championship team with or without D12.

What about the Clippers? Say they get Garnet and Pierce next, do u trade Griffen for Howard? That way LAL keep two biggs and could run Pau at center with Griffen at PF and (this is the important part) LAL don’t loose Howard for nothing. Idk it it wud happen but i actually think this would be best for all teams involved. LAC just lost their best center so they’re gonna be hurtin for rebounds and LAL played last year basically with 2 centers and sucked so they need some kinda change. I think it all comes down to if the LAC feel Howard is more valuable than Griffen. I’m not sure thats the case but from a “lineup on paper” standpoint i think Paul,Crawford, Pierce, Garnett, Howard > Paul,Crawford, Pierce, Garnett, Griffen if for no other reason than you have a true center instead of 2 power forwards.

idk but if LAC pulls it off i think they shud rest garnett and pierce ALL year as much as they can and then unleash that starting five in the playoffs and take it down. Still a long ways from doing all this but as a BBALL fan i would LOVE to see that starting 5 go against MIA with ray allen (considering they somehow get past the healthy bulls and much improved pacers next year). Forget the big 3, if that team could be healthy in the playoffs it wud be the closest thing we’ve seen in a long time to a big 5.

i stand by what i said. howard goes to the rockets then he never gets a ring. unless they get another star. howard isn’t a center piece like a lebron or kobe or durant like ppl make him out to be. harden isn’t either. would they be a decent team that possibly went deep in the playoffs? yes would they EVER win a championship? HELL NO

Moses Malone, Yao Ming (yes, not many centers in NBA during his stretch 19.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks while shooting .524 from the field and .833 from the free throw line, Ralph Sampson and Dream (Obvs)
